5.4.7 Manual Installation with LPD on RS/6000
1. Determine the remote system/queue. Use Rembak for remote spooling.
2. Add FastPort to the network and assign an IP address to it.
3. Edit the /etc/qconfig file, for example:
test_q:
device =
sample
host =
alpha
rq =
ps
sample:
backend = /usr/lib/lpd/remback
Legend:
• Queue is “test_q”
• Host file is “alpha”
• Printing to “ps” (From Table 5-1)
4. Stop queue services with the following command:
stopsrc -s qdaemon
5. Restart the remote queue using the command.
startsrc -s qdaemon
LPR and LP are now set to print to the device.
Note:
The
qconfig
file, valid queue names (rq=) may have the same names as used for
printer types (rp=).
